Beatdown on the Mean Shadow Man
"Were you expecting to find something, little fairy?" Kageyama smirked.
"The shadow freak again, I don't believe I've gotten your name at the name. Was it doggy?" Natsu asked though also mocking the evil wizard at the same time.
"Kage! The name is KAGE! Get it right, asshole!" Kageyama yelled in anger.
"Excuse me, young man, but you should know better than to yell curse words like that when in the presence of children." Litchi scolded the dark wizard and gestures to the two kids.
"Oh right, sorry." Kageyama apologized.
"Wait a minute, why am I apologizing right now? You guys should still be tied up after I found you still in the station." Kageyama glared at the three.
"Huh, you were the one who tied them up?" Natsu asked.
"That's right, it was me, Kageyama!" Kageyama smirked.
(Flashback)
"It was around the time when we came to Oshibana station and took over the place that we had people screaming away from the place." Kageyama started explaining about their situation.
Erigor is laughing as Eisenwald arrived at Oshibana station and all of them are coming out with few of the train station employees are scared of the sight, and Erirgor just pointed his scythe at them, and the evil wizards start attacking them while the others are scared of what is happening right now.
"Oshibana station is now under our control! You fools can't stop us!" Erigor declared.
"Alright, I want you guys to search the place of any more people here and kick them out." Erigor ordered and the wizards f Eisenwald nodded in agreement.
Kageyama goes around using his Shadow Magic to see if there are any fools in here though there doesn't appear to be anyone in the area he is searching right now, which could make things easy for them and knowing lots of people would gather at the station to wonder what's going on.
"Makoto! Please come out!" Litchi called out which Kageyama is surprised.
"And then I found that woman searching for the little girl with the fluffy tail." Kageyama mentioned.
"I have the fluffiest tail in the world!" Makoto proclaimed.
"Hey, I'm telling the story right now! So, just shut up… please." Kageyama snapped a little.
"Our train is here, Makoto! We have to leave for Clover town!" Mai reminded her squirrely friend.
Litchi looks around hoping to find any kind of sign that would tell her where that energetic girl could be hiding, but it looks like luck was on her side as she spotted a fluffy that is sticking out from one of the wooden boxes and opens it to find little Makoto inside.
"Yay! You found me!" Makoto cheered.
"Yes, we found you. Now let's head back to get onto our train." Litchi said as she set Makoto down.
"Sorry, but I'm afraid your train ride is cancelled." Kageyama said with his hand on the floor.
"What the… Who are you?" Litchi asked shock, already knowing this man doesn't work in the station.
Kageyama just smirks having his shadow go towards the three fast and pinning them onto the wall and grabbing some rope from one of the boxes getting an idea.
Later, Kageyama finished tying them up and putting tape over their mouths as he walks out of the room to leave them inside.
"Hey, did you find anything?" Karacka asked as he runs up to him.
"Nope, nothing to report at all. I believe the station is ours." Kageyama smirked to hide the lie of finding those three girls.
"Yeah, I could've told Erigor about those three girls being here, but I knew he wanted to go on with our plan. So, I spared him with wasting his time on them." Kageyama finished explaining.
(Flashback End)
"But now you just have to go on spoil the mood of being held down." Kageyama complained with a smirk.
"Well, now you've just given me another reason to beat you up!" Natsu ignited his fists into flames again.
"Wow, you're literally on fire! Are you a wizard?" Makoto asked amazes.
"Yep, I'm a wizard from Fairy Tail! The greatest guild in the world, the name's Natsu Dragneel!" Natsu introduced himself and showed his guild emblem.
"Yeah, yeah, go tell them that… while I beat the shit out of you!" Kageyama shouted as he starts using his magic towards Natsu.
"Knuckle Shadow!" Kageyama knocked Natsu down and crashing onto some boxes.
"There, I've wanted to do that for a while now. Had enough, Fairy Tail insect?" Kageyama felt satisfied of doing that.
"Are you okay?" Litchi asked worry.
"Don't worry, I… am alright!" Natsu brought himself back standing on his feet and ready to fight, but he also got his head struck through a filly sign.
"Wow, you look like an idiot right now." Kageyama insulted.
"Oh shut it, doggy." Natsu mocked back.
"I just told you a moment ago that my name is Kage! Kageyama! Get it right!" Kageyama yelled angry at the brat for getting his name wrong.
"Whatever, they sound the same to me." Natsu said.
"You look silly, Mister Fire Man!" Makoto laughed as she couldn't control herself.
"Anyway, I think I've got you all figured out this time. You eat flames to increase your power, isn't that your big trick? Shouldn't be too hard to stamp out." Kageyama proclaimed in a mocking tone.
"Damn it, now I'm really going to teach you a lesson!" Natsu destroyed the sign with the burst of flame around his head.
"Now he's head is on fire!" Makoto amazed.
"That mean man said that Natsu can eat fire. Is that really possible?" Mai asked.
"I think that maybe true, this type of magic he possessed must be Dragon Slayer Magic, one of the many Lost Magics in the world!" Litchi surprised that she is in the presence of such a powerful lost magic.
"But first you're going to tell me where Erigor is!" Natsu demanded.
"You think I'm just gonna tell you that? If you really want to know, then you're gonna have to beat it out of me." Kageyama smirked; this flaming punk will be in for a rude surprise that Erigor isn't even in the station anymore.
"Once more, Knuckle Shadow!" Kageyama unleashed his attack.
But to his surprise, Natsu was able to be ready for that this time and hold his arms up to block the attack and was able push back a foot or two.
"So, I get to beat you up and get the information I wanted. That's killing two birds with one stone. I'm getting all fired up." Natsu excited.
"Hey, you three better find cover because this battle is gonna be hot!" Natsu warned.
"Okay." Litchi nodded and took the girls away from the fight though Makoto wanted to keep watch to see how it would end.
Kageyama unleashes some shadow punches at Natsu only he is reacting faster than before dodging all of them and moving close, Natsu threw a flaming axe-kick only for Kageyama to barely dodge the attack and getting a burn on his shirt.
"(Damn it, this kid is better at combat than I thought.)" Kageyama thought surprised.
"Snake Shadow!" Kageyama unleashed his most powerful shadow spell, a shadow attack in the form is many snakes all targeting Natsu.
"You can't run this time. They'll tear you to pieces!" Kageyama laughed.
"Look out!" Makoto called out worry.
"I got this." Natsu assured that everything is going to be fine.
Natsu pound his fists together and flames starts to form around his hands as he jumps at the attack.
"Fire Dragon's Wing Attack!" Natsu threw the flaming wing-like attack right at the shadow attack destroying it in one shot.
"Impossible! He was able to defeat them in one shot!" Kageyama gasped.
"Yay! He punched the mean man's snakes away!" Mai cheered as Makoto cheers as well.
"Incredible, I can tell he was using more magic than the average wizard should!" Litchi shocked of seeing this.
"I didn't think wizards like this really existed." Kageyama felt fear consuming him.
"Ready to talk? I got a fireball with your name on it." Natsu smirked with a big fireball forming through his fist.
"Go get him in the kisser!" Makoto threw her tiny fist in the air.
"No… You're a monster!" Kageyama panicked as Natsu comes at him.
Natsu let out a dragon-like scream and threw the fire punch right in the face of the shadow bastard sending him through a wall leaving a trail of burn mark on the floor and the fall he got slammed on and now Kageyama is down with his body feeling all beaten and hot from the fiery attack.
"Wow, that was amazing! You were on fire in more ways than one and beat the meanie shadow man!" Makoto amazed as she runs around Natsu as Mai and Litchi walks up to them.
"Thanks, I am pretty awesome!" Natsu chuckled.
"Yes, I just hope the employees don't mind the little damage you caused." Litchi said looking at the damage of the room.
But now Natsu can question the shadow guy about Erigor as he moves a little closer to him though not too close just in case.
"Well then, sorry that I had to take you down, Diorama." Natsu said getting his name wrong again.
"I told you, it's Kageyama!" Kageyama corrected him again though groaning in pain.
"Whatever, just tell me where Erigor is or you're gonna get toasted." Natsu demanded.
"Yeah, you better tell him!" Makoto said pointing her finger at Kageyama like what Natsu is doing right now, but Kageyama just laughs.
"He's long gone, you idiot. He's not even in this station anymore." Kageyama revealed with a smirk.
"What?!" Natsu shocked.
"Now that you mention it, I do remember seeing a man with a large scythe flying away from the station outside." Litchi mentioned.
"You could have mention that before!" Natsu screamed at the woman.
"Natsu!" Nine called out as she, Erza, and Gray runs up to him.
"Hey mom, everyone! I just found out that Erigor isn't here anymore." Natsu informed.
"We already know, Erza and I saw him outside forming a giant tornado around the station." Nine mentioned.
"A giant tornado! You gotta be kidding me!" Natsu gasped.
"Huh, who are these three?" Gray asked noticing the older woman and two little girls.
"Apparently, this guy locked up these girls when they were still here and quite them quiet though he didn't tell Erigor about it for some reason." Natsu explained.
"Hello, my name is Litchi Faye Ling. It's nice to meet you." Litchi greeted.
"Makoto Nanaya, the awesome squirrel girl you will ever meet!" Makoto introduced herself exciting.
"I'm Mai Natsume, hello." Mai greeted.
"(How odd, I feel like I know some people with those names from somewhere.)" Nine thought weirded from this, but decided to worry about that later.
"Anyway, we should get going since I can break this barrier away with my magic." Nine stated.
"What? That can't be possible, nothing can break Erigor's sealing spell unless you can dispel it like I can!" Kageyama gasped and blurted out that secret out loud.
"Wait, you can do that?" Natsu asked surprise.
"(Oh fuck! I completely fucked up!)" Kageyama thought screamed.
"Actually, now that I think about it, I did hear the others talking about you getting the seal on Lullaby undone." Erza recalled.
"Like how to get the nuts to open up?" Makoto asked curiously.
"It's not like that, sweetie." Litchi stated.
But before anyone else could say any more word, Kageyama suddenly felt something piercing through his body and out came a hand with a knife that made blood come out shocking everyone who are witnessing this with their own eyes.
"Why… Karacka?" Kageyama asked in horror shock as he fell, revealing Karacka emerging from the wall using his Phasing Magic though he is also shaken in fear.
(Moments Ago)
"Hey, you two alright?" Gray called to them from above as they are back at the central area.
"Yeah, but Erigor got away trapping us in a tornado." Erza informed.
"I know, I saw it on my way here. If you try forcing your way through, then you'll become dead meat." Gray warned.
"Don't worry about that, we already thought of a way to get out of this sealing tornado." Nine grinned.
Unknown to the Fairy Tail wizards, Byard is still conscious from the fight and heard everything they just said which causes him to flinch in fear.
"(No way, they couldn't have found a way to get out of the barrier unless… Unless they know about Kageyama!)" Byard thought gasped.
"Come on, let's go find the others so we can get out of here together." Nine said as they ran to go find the other three.
Once the Fairy Tail wizards are gone, it was safe for Byard to speak.
"Karacka, how long are you gonna hide back there?" Byard asked, then Karacka revealed himself from a wall.
"I'm sorry, but I was scared." Karacka admitted.
"Find Kage before they do, go now." Byard ordered.
"No, please don't make me. You know I'm no good in a fight, Byard." Karacka begged as he really, really don't want to face any of those strong wizards that could potentially kill him.
"Calm down. It's a simple job, even you can handle this." Byard assured making Karacka gasp a bit.
(Present)
"It's a simple job, even you can handle this."
Karacka is shaking in extreme fear of what he just did right now even though he didn't want to do it deep down, but he had to for Eisenwald to get their revenge even though he has always been scared of this extreme plan.
And now he feels fear of himself that he just killed someone who he always considered to be his one and only true friend within the Dark Guild.
"You have to kill Kageyama." Those words echoed in Karacka's head like a broken record, whimpering.
"Hey man, wasn't he one of you guys? The fuck did you go and do that for?" Gray asked though Karacka couldn't answer.
"How could you do that to one of your friends?" Natsu clutched his fists as Karacka looks up at him.
"He's a member of your guild! He trusted you and you tried to kill him!" Natsu exploded in rage with his fire aura exploding. This made Karacka feel fear that he tries to retreat to the other side of the wall he came out of.
"HOW COULD YOU?!" Natsu threw a strong fire punch that went through and struck Karacka in the face knocking unconscious.
"Is that how you Dark Guild members treat each other?" Natsu asked angry.
"Let me look at him." Litchi kneeled down looking closely at Kageyama's wound.
"Can you help him?" Erza asked.
"I'm a medical wizard, I've been studying some healing magic since I was a child and from what I can tell, that man seem to have miss his vital organs on purpose, but this wound could still be fatal that he'll die if not treated." Litchi stated as she looks closely at the wound.
"But why are you helping him? He's one of the bad wizards who plans to kill many innocent lives with a death song." Nine asked.
"Because I'm a doctor, it's my job to save every life that are hurt right in front of me, and I cannot turn my back on them. Doctors are like wizards such you all, it is our job to perform miracles for them to live!" Litchi explained with a strong determination.
"Yep, yep, Miss Litchi is the best doctor in the world!" Makoto smiled as Mai nods.
"You know he could start hurting people again." Nine pointed out.
"I'll worry about that after his treatment." Litchi smiled as she places her hands on the wound and they glow into a huge blue green.
"Huh, did something happen here?" Lucy asked, confuse as she, Juvia, and Happy just arrived.
(Clover Canyon)
Erigor is seen standing on top of the train track doing some walking because he needs to recharge his magic for using most of it up on that Wizard Saint and forming the sealing barrier.
"I'm so close to Clover and the Guild Masters, I can taste it. And what's more, the magic energy I used creating that wind barrier is almost fully recharged." Erigor chuckled.
"Now it's time." Erigor started making himself fly again.
"You fools not only took away our work, bur you robbed us of our rights. And now I'm going to make you pay." Erigor started flying towards Clover at incredible speed.
"The Reaper's cleansing is nigh!" Erigor declared.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
Bet Kageyama thought he had this in the bag against Natsu, but he learned the hard away that a dragon's fire was too hot for him to handle. Though he suddenly got back stabbed by his own friend and that got Natsu angry, but he will have to save that anger for when they catch up to Erigor.
